Im considering doing this course but I'd much prefer a job in finance rather than accounting, is this course a good option for a career in finance or is it much more focused on the accounting side? Thanks any help would be much appreciated

You can specialize in finance in final year of Accounting & Finance and I'm sure you wouldn't be disadvantaged in looking for a finance job by doing so.
If you've absolutely got your mind set on doing a finance related job, then you would probably find a pure finance course, like Economics & Finance more interesting.
You will be doing a lot of accounting otherwise!
Typically the points for those sort of courses are quite high as the number of places would be limited.
